Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 272
Everyone laughed loudly, full of pride.

Liang Xiao was right.

At this moment, although they only have more than a hundred riders, they are all true elites.Liang Xiao himself is a perfect archer, the mercenaries are carefully selected elites, and the Yueshi knights are veterans who have fought with Ashina for many years. Even the weakest young knights are the best among their peers. outstanding.In such a team, anyone who stands up is above average.

But the Huns came from afar and set up camp under the city of Suye, which is simply extremely arrogant.They didn't take Dawan people and Yuezhi people seriously at all.It's no wonder that the people of Dawan are notoriously weak, and Cai Wanyu was defeated in a battle, and the Yuezhi people were defeated by them. He dared not show up in the camp.

Facing such an opponent, how could the Huns not be arrogant.

With such conditions, if you can't win by surprise, when will you be able to win by surprise?
Liang Xiao ordered everyone to get off their horses, eat something, wrap their horseshoes, and at the same time decide on tactics for the last time.

"Old Xie, Duhu, you are the vanguard, tear through the Huns' defense line as quickly as possible, and attack the Chinese army in a detour." Borrowing the light of the fire, Liang Xiao drew a sketch on the ground. "Anyone who stands in our way, kill them."

"My lord, don't worry." Xie Guanglong rubbed his hands excitedly. "My iron spear has been in use for too long, and today I can finally drink blood."

"Don't love to fight." Liang Xiao reminded: "Our goal is to give the Huns a blow."

"My lord, I know." Xie Guanglong laughed, seeing Liang Xiao staring at him, quickly put away his smile, and said solemnly: "My lord, I really know. I will never fight, unless they themselves are unlucky and bump into my body." Before the horse."

Liang Xiao nodded, and said to Alexander and other Greek youths: "Follow behind, spread out on both wings, stab the enemies who want to approach with spears, and create chaos." He drew two arcs on the ground, like spearheads Edges on both sides. "If Lao Xie and Duhu are the tip of the spear, you are the sharp edge, responsible for cutting through the camp of the Huns."

Alexander stared at his big eyes, bit his thick lips, and nodded vigorously.

Liang Xiao turned around and looked at the Yueshi Knight. "You follow the formation and use bows and arrows to do mass destruction. However, your key task is to ride and shoot at the rear, so as not to give the Huns a chance to chase us. Whether you can return to the camp smoothly depends on you Whether the blockade is effective."

The Yuezhi knights glanced at each other and nodded in unison.

Liang Xiao finally looked at the seven second-class mercenary archers and smiled. "Your task, I don't think I need to talk about it?"

The archers also laughed, and one of the middle-aged mercenaries nicknamed Firefox said: "My lord, don't worry, we will definitely be worth the money, and we will never let down every gold coin you paid. I saw the magic of my lord yesterday. Shoot, today on the battlefield, we have to compete with adults in actual combat."

"That would be the best." Liang Xiao laughed loudly. "Welcome to the challenge."

Liang Xiao finally arranged the mission for the eleven first-class infantry mercenaries.They followed Xie Guanglong and Pang Shuo. If the way forward was blocked, they would dismount and fight on foot, tearing through the Huns' defense line.If the Greek teenagers attacking with spears are injured, they also need to step forward to replace them to protect the sharpness of the assault.

After everything was arranged properly and the horseshoes were all wrapped, Liang Xiao and the others got on their horses again, took advantage of the darkness, made a circle, and walked towards the Huns' camp.Liang Xiao and Guo Wu walked in the front. He has extraordinary ear power, can hear far away, and can spot the enemy in advance.

Maybe it was because the Huns were too tired after coming all the way, or maybe they felt that the rear of the camp was safe and they didn't need to work so hard. Liang Xiao and others walked ten miles outside the Huns camp before meeting the first group of Huns scouts.

Wearing dark cloaks and riding dark war horses, Liang Xiao and the others melted into the night, making it difficult to spot them.They came from below, and the hooves of the horses were also covered with soft steps, which effectively eliminated most of the hoofbeats.The Huns sensed an abnormality in the distance, but were not sure what it was.

While they were hesitating, Liang Xiao and the others jumped on the horses and completed the charge formation.

Liang Xiao bent his bow and set an arrow, aiming at the night ahead, he shot an arrow.Everyone was a little stunned when they heard the howling of the arrows.I can't see anything, shoot what?Before they could ask any questions, there was a scream in front of them, and someone fell off the horse.

Everyone was horrified and looked at Liang Xiao with awe.Can it be shot like this?
Liang Xiao didn't explain either.Although his current hearing ability is still far from what Huan Yuan said, he can still hear the sound of the Huns' war horses snorting a hundred paces away.Let him hit the vital points, and it is still difficult to kill with one arrow, but it is basically no problem to hit the body or the horse.

"Accelerate!" Liang Xiao ordered to accelerate his charge while bending his bow and shooting an arrow.

In a short while, he shot several arrows in a row, almost hitting the arrow. When the bowstring rang, a Hun scout would be hit by the arrow.

Inspired by his miraculous archery skills, everyone's confidence doubled and they kicked their horses faster.The war horse spread its four hooves, ran faster and faster, and ran towards the Huns camp in the distance.

Their speed is not particularly fast, but their momentum is getting stronger and stronger. Everyone has entered the battle state and their eyes widened.The Greek teenagers put down the stirrups hidden in the saddles and stepped half of their feet in.With the support of the stirrups, they let go of the reins, held the spears in both hands, and leaned slightly, ready to charge.

This is Liang Xiao's secret weapon.

After learning about Bactria's heavy armored cavalry from Ajina, Liang Xiao made an in-depth comparison of the pros and cons of the two types of cavalry.Considering the overall cost performance, heavy cavalry is indeed inferior to light cavalry.However, under certain circumstances, the assault capability of heavy cavalry is unmatched by light cavalry.Bactria's heavy cavalry had limited impact because they lacked stirrups and high bridge saddles, which were not new to him at all.

Although the emperor hid these two technologies out of strategic considerations, they were not allowed to leak them easily.But now that he was facing a fierce battle, he couldn't care less.In fact, after learning about the pros and cons of the Bactrian cavalry, he prepared stirrups for his knights and practiced in secret.

Today is just the first actual combat.

At this moment, the Greek teenagers are wearing heavy armor, holding spears, and stepping on stirrups, full of fighting spirit.They followed Xie Guanglong and Pang Shuo closely, protecting Liang Xiao and the others, like a sharp dagger, silently piercing the back of the Huns.

Liang Xiao and the others kept firing their bows and arrows, shooting the Huns scouts within range under their horses.At this time, he didn't insist on shooting, as long as he could slow their pace and delay their sending the news back to the Huns' camp, it would be considered as achieving their goal.

The Xiongnu scouts were not prepared for their arrival, and suffered heavy losses. It was not until Liang Xiao and others ran five miles away from the camp that the scouts escaped from Liang Xiao's and others' sniping, rushed to the camp to call the police.

With the big camp in sight, Liang Xiao and the others also completed their warm-up, and began to enter a semi-charge state, speeding up and approaching the Huns' big camp.

The camp of the Huns was silent.The continuous march for more than a month has made the Huns exhausted, and they finally arrived at the foot of Suye City. There will be a big battle tomorrow. Everyone wants to hurry up and have a good rest. Even the sentry on duty is half asleep on horseback Awake.When the scouts in the distance rushed over, passed them, and sternly called the police, they raised their heads blankly and looked at the night in the distance.

They didn't hear the familiar sound of horseshoes, nor did they see the starry torches. Everything in front of them was completely different from the enemy attack that the scouts who called the police said.Just when they wondered if the scout was having a nightmare, a black shadow rushed in front of them with a muffled noise.

Looking at the black shadows, the sentries were dumbfounded, and when they instinctively turned their horses to escape, sharp arrows galloped towards them, piercing through their bodies.

In front of their eyes, Liang Xiao and others were like a group of ghosts, rushing into the camp of the Huns and appearing in front of the Huns.

With a low growl, Xie Guanglong shook his iron spear and picked and killed a Hun who rushed out of the big tent to check the situation, then picked up the embers of the campfire and threw them on the Hun's tent.The weather was cold and dry, and the tent quickly caught fire. The Huns in the tent woke up from their sleep and screamed horribly.

Alexander and others followed suit, constantly using spears to overturn the big tents of the Huns, and trampled them all the way.Some Huns panicked and rushed to their horses. They were immediately stabbed by sharp spears and knocked down by the galloping horses.

Under the protection of the heavily armored knights, Liang Xiao and the others drew their bows and shot as much as they wanted.

According to Liang Xiao's instructions, the mercenary archers did not shoot at anyone they saw, but chose valuable targets as much as possible: either low-level officers such as tens and centurions who tried their best to control the situation, or picked up Ordinary soldiers who want to intercept with weapons, or orderlies who raise their horns and prepare to sound the alarm, are their priority targets.

These seven people are all archers who hit the target with four arrows from twelve arrows at a distance of one hundred paces. Although there is a big gap compared with Liang Xiao, they are still rare masters.The bow in his hand is strong enough, and the hit rate is impressive. Even on a galloping horse, it is difficult for a target within fifty or sixty steps to escape their shooting.Under their cover, Xie Guanglong and the others basically had no effective blocking, and rushed all the way.

For a moment, the bow was as strong as a piano, and an impassioned battle song was played.Amidst the dense sound of strings, one by one the Huns fell to the ground with arrows.

The Huns camp was in chaos, and the flames were ablaze.

"Turn, turn!" Liang Xiao shouted in a low voice while shooting.

Xie Guanglong and Pang Shuo turned their horses and rushed towards the right camp of the Huns. The crowd followed closely behind. The two hundred horses drew an arc like a sharp machete and tore apart the camp of the Huns. A bloody wound was left, leaving behind a piece of blood and wailing.
